Notice date: July 6, 2026
The City has contracted Tuygun Painting Contracting to repaint fire hydrants that have been preselected through our Water Services fire hydrant inspection program. The work is expected to begin this week and take approximately two months to complete. The contractor will remove old paint and rust from the hydrants before priming them with grey paint. Hydrants will then be repainted with a fresh coat of yellow and green. All repainting will take about two months to finish, weather permitting.
Fresh paint keeps Guelph’s fire hydrants in good shape and makes them easier for Guelph Fire, City staff and the public to see.
Fire Hydrant Painting: What to Expect
There are no impacts to traffic or water service during the repainting, but people can expect some noise from the paint removal work, which is done using an air compressor and needle gun.
